  • Introduction to Horticulture 3
    1 Introduction to Horticu ltu re INTRODUCTION Horticulture is a science, as well as, an art of production, utilisation and improvement of horticultural crops, such as fruits and vegetables, spices and condiments, ornamental, plantation, medicinal and aromatic plants. Horticultural crops require intense care in planting, carrying out intercultural operations, manipulation of growth, harvesting, packaging, marketing, storage and processing. India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world after China. In India, about 55–60 per cent of the total population depends on agriculture and allied activities. Horticultural crops constitute a significant portion of the total agricultural produce in India. They cover a wide cultivation area and contribute about 28 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). These crops account for 37 per cent of the total exports of agricultural commodities from India. SESSION 1: HORTICULTURE AND ITS IMPORTANCE The term horticulture is derived from two Latin words hortus, meaning ‘garden’, and cultura meaning ‘cultivation’. It refers to crops cultivated in an enclosure, i.e., garden cultivation. Chapter -1.indd 1 11-07-2018 11:33:32 NOTES Features and importance Horticulture crops perform a vital role in the Indian economy by generating employment, providing raw material to various food processing industries, and higher farm profitability due to higher production and export earnings from foreign exchange. (a) Horticulture crops are a source of variability in farm produce and diets. (b) They are a source of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, flavour, aroma, dietary fibres, etc. (c) They contain health benefiting compounds and medicines. (d) These crops have aesthetic value and protect the environment.

  • Do Orchids Grow in Hawaii? and How!
    Do Orchids Grow in Hawaii? And How! SYNOPSIS This is an historical sketch of the Saga of Orchids in Hawaii. The sequence of events from the incidental introduction of species by the Agriculturists for the Sugar Industry; to their efforts in propagation and culture, hybridizing and germination; to the development of personal nurseries to commercial ranges; and ultimately to the creation of a viable orchid industry, re­ cognized world wide; to the natural formation of orchid societies staging of orchid shows; and finally to the introduction of a system of orchid judging , should bring interesting reading to orchidists, amateur and professional alike. In fact, this could serve as a reference syllabus to keep. DO ORCHIDS GROW IM HAWAII? AMD HOW i Compiled and Edited by Dr. T. David Woo and Wallace K.

  • A Life in Horticulture and Plant Breeding: the Extraordinary ­Contributions of Jules Janick
    7 A Life in Horticulture and Plant Breeding: The Extraordinary Contributions of Jules Janick Irwin Goldman Department of Horticulture, University of Wisconsin‐Madison, Madison, WI Rodomiro Ortiz Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Department of Plant Breeding, Sweden ABSTRACT This chapter discusses Jules Janick, whose career has been intertwined with enor- mous changes in horticultural science and plant breeding. More than any other person in the U.S. in the last 60 years, Jules Janick has doggedly brought horticul- ture into the scientific realm. Jules Janick was the editor of fourteen volumes of HortScience from 1970 to 1983, and eight volumes of the Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science from 1976 to 1983. He has edited ten volumes of Acta Horticulturae for the International Science of Horticultural Science (ISHS), and two volumes of Scripta Horticulturae. He also founded and single-handedly edited forty volumes of Plant Breeding Reviews and 43 volumes of Horticultural Reviews, which stand as an extraordinary accomplishment in twentieth century horticulture. Many of his texts still form the foundation for introductory horticul- ture and crop science courses offered around the world. Janick is also the co‐editor, with James Moore, of a number of volumes on fruit breeding, including Advances in Fruit Breeding and Methods in Fruit Breeding. Janick holds six utility patents and 23 plant patents, and one Plant Variety Protection (PVP) certificate. Professor Janick has been a faculty member at Purdue University for over sixty years. KEYWORDS: Acta Horticulturae; Advances in Fruit Breeding; crop science; HortScience; Jules Janick; Methods in Fruit Breeding; plant breeding Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 41, First Edition.

The first documented contact with Europe was the encounter of Hawaii by British explorer James Cook in 1778. Subsequent settlement by European and American planters brought in numerous fruit crops, including avocado, citrus, coffee, macadamia, mango, papaya, passionfruit, and pineapple, with varying suc- cess. The present workshop, History of Ha- waiian Pomology, sponsored by the History of Horticultural Science and Pomology Work- ing Groups, explored three famous fruit and nut crops of Hawaii: pineapple (oral presenta- tion by Johnny Lopez), papaya (oral presen- tation by Richard Manshardt), and macadamia (oral presentation by David Rietow), each with very different stories and outcomes. The first paper, entitled ‘‘Pineapple: The Fig. 1. The famous ‘MD-2’ pineapple developed in Hawaii at the Pineapple Research Institute has Rise and Fall of an Industry’’ by Duane P. revitalized the world market for fresh pineapple. Bartholomew, Richard A. Hawkins, and Johnny Lopez, reviews the Hawaiian history of one of the world’s most famous tropical fruits.
